WCA to host baseball hitting camp Saturday

The Westminster Christian Academy baseball program will host an instructional hitting camp at the school’s facility Saturday, according to Crusaders’ head baseball coach Randy Hux.

Hux said the camp will teach techniques of hitting taught by New York Mets minor and major instructor Kevin Morgan, Kansas City Royals minor league catcher Chase Vallot and veteran minor league instructor Brooks Badeaux.

Ralph Rhymes, a former junior college All-American when he played at LSU-Eunice, will also be one of the camp directors, according to Hux.

Rhymes, who played at LSUE from 2010-2012, has been the top hitter in the Chicago White Sox farm system, said Hux.

Cost for the camp is $100 per player.

Hux said instruction will begin at 9 a.m. and last until 4 p.m.

The hitting camp is the second in a series of instructional camps hosted at WCA since Hux became baseball coach in May.

In October the Crusaders’ program hosted an infielders’ camp with Morgan and Badeaux as two of the featured instructors.

“All of our instructors are good players and have a lot to add to the art of hitting,” Hux said.

Further camp information can be obtained by calling Hux at 337-849-2840.
